    Yeah, that's what's pulling me towards this light, even though I like the other more. This seems to go with the bike more and it's cheaper too

    Still contemplating on which speedo to go for for the Gixxer. Looking at either the Motoscope pro

    Yeah, I'm thinking more the pro as it's a bit of a larger unit and the tacho is easier to read as well

    the mini's look awesome, but just too hard to read when you actually want to (check speed when you see a speed camera)

    So finally got to get more work done on the sub-frame. Ordered some 6060 Alumunium 20mm square bar and cut it to size. Due to the reservoir on the rear shock i had to space out the lower mount by 20mm and then cut and welded a length of bar from side to side.





    Then attached the tie rod ends to the MV lower mount and marked up and drilled the lower bar.







    Still need to clean it up and radius the edges then paint it. Will try to put it on the bike tomorrow to check the seat height and adjust as required.

    Also, just collected my engine from Geoff after the rebuild, you're a champ mate. Need to take it to work with me tomorrow so I can de-grease and paint strip, then rub back and prepare for paint.

    Time to get this engine looking all purdy and stuff, so here we go.

    Slung the engine from the overhead crane at work (handy to have )



    and had a friend come over to give me a hand. So we started masking up the engine



    Then got ye old faithful Paint Stripper



    and started applying liberally. As you can see some of the engine had some crappy red paint on it as well





    then let the paint stripper do it's thing and gave it a clean in the parts washer. Ended up giving it two coats of paint stripper and two good cleans to de-grease and remove all the paint stripper.



    We the rubbed back lightly with some emry paper and started laying on some black goodness



    Getting there. I actually ran out of paint and need to get some more as it needs another coat of paint, but it's looking good
